Here’s the best part of this spinach bacon quiche recipe: you can use whatever vegetables you have.
Sunday is usually when I scramble to see what vegetables are about to turn and I usually toss them in a soup. This time, I wanted to do something different: I turned them into an easy breakfast that I could grab and go throughout the week.
It’s full of veggies, satisfying, plus it had bacon in it, so I looked forward to it every morning.
I had a zucchini that was about to go, Brussel sprouts that would have been wasted otherwise, and spinach that was iffy.
Into the quiche, they went!

Is bacon Whole30?
There is Whole30 compliant bacon out there. You need to look for sugar-free bacon (that’s also free of nitrates). It should be simply pork and salt, maybe some seasonings and lemon juice.
You may have luck going to a local butcher and asking them straight up for what you’re looking for.
If you’re looking for Whole30 bacon in Canada – Kirkland bacon (and Kirkland prosciutto) is Whole30 approved (source).
